The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hey guys. I am having trouble trying to decide on my next watch. Although I am trying to hold off for a few months, I like to be able to zero in on my next watch and know for sure which one I am targeting. I have narrowed it down to a Steelfish, Seawolf, or the Seawolf Chrono (all white dials). I want to be able to pick a watch that looks good on the SS bracelet, a gold leather strap, and a diver pro. I have not been able to find any pictures of the Steelfish or Seawolf Chrono on a diver pro. Any help is appreciated.....Thanks!

Thanks for the post - caused me to put a DPII on my white dial Steelfish for the first time. Here are 2 pics -

Sharkman, that's a stunning combo. The DPII has really grown on me. Having said that, I have fitted both my Seawolf chrono and yelllow ss Seawolf with the DPII deployant.

Here's my contribution...


Seawolf Chrono on DPII tang..now on DPII deployant.

Funny, I didn't have any 22 MM OR pieces(just 24MM) for spare deployments I have - just DPIIs. Have been wearing my black dial Seawolf on DPII but picked up OR pieces and swapped out. Makes for a nice sporty look. AD only charged $50 for the rubber. Still the matte black dial on the Seawolf and the DPII/deployment are a celestial match. Really like the yellow dial on the DPII. That is the combo of my bext Breitling, when and if...

Out of your three choices I'd go with the Seawolf with the silver (white) dial with Batons. It's a bit bigger than the Steelfish and a little more unique in my opinion. The Steelfish is a great watch, I just don't like that they're are so many of them, I also think that the Seawolf baton dial is nicer than the Steelfish dial.

As far as the Seawolf Chrono goes, I'm not too big a fan of it. It's a great looking watch, but I don't like that it's Quartz and though I understand the reason for it being so I have no need to use a Chrono underwater, but maybe that's one of the things you like about it.

All three are great watches, but I'd go with the Seawolf. Let us know what you decide on.

Thank you both for the pictures.....Sharkman that picture did it for me...I think I know what my choice is now since I was leaning towards the Steelfish anyway because of how it looks with a gold leather or croco strap. I just wanted the option of throwing on the DP but couldn't picture it and the Breitling website was no help

Roman---I think the Steelfish adds a little more of a variety since I have an Avenger already

Of your 3 choices I would take the Steelfish without a doubt!!

Damn it gb45! I've been perfectly content with the white dial Fish on gold croco and now I can't get the darn thing on a DPII off my wrist. Good thing I have an extra DPII on deployment. Grrrrrr.


Now on an Ocean Racer –

Ah, didn't notice that you had an Avenger already. In that case the Steelfish would be my choice also.

I like the Avenger but how can someone say it has nicer dial is beyond me.

Steelfish "Guilloche" dial is probably the most stunning dial I've ever seen on a diver watch. It "sparkles" and shines in 3D like no other.

OK, the texture of the Steelfish dial is very nice, but I like the baton markers on the Seawolf better than the numerals and circles on the Steelfish. Both are beautiful watches and neither would be a bad choice.

Now there is a true statement. Breitling absolutely nailed this watch - nailed it! If they ever decide to re-release the special edition GMT, I'm first in line.
